Well, it’s nice enough to be back–even as much as I was dreading the return home. Andy, who’s now living where my man Sam once was, is beyond expectations wonderful (which made returning from California much more bearable, of course). The reader event went off beautifully; thanks, again to the hundreds who showed up and gave your support! Amongst some new peeps, saw some of the essentials (sans Yoey, sadly), but perhaps most importantly was making a bittersweet reconnection with an old besty before heading down to LA to crash Philth’s life a few days. That was marv. Del Ghetto, neighborhood cat drooling, OMD, constantly eating, yet surprisingly no Next Generation or 99DE. Though missing out on Embo moments was a little much to bear, the all-night-gothsplosion I marveled at for hours was a bit of a leveler. Photo roundup to follow shortly.
